Euproctis nigripuncta, nov. spec. (pi. Ill, fig. 19). 
$. Head, shaft and branches of antennae, thorax, base of abdomen, 
the long hah on legs, anterior and posterior wings above and on under 
side baryta-yellow (IV) ; palpi, short hairs of legs and abdomen buff- 
yellow (IV) ; anal tuft Prout’s brown (XV) ; anterior wing with capucine- 
yellow (III) rounded reniform, surrounded bv some blackish scales, mostly 
on inner side (in the co-type the reniform is much reduced) ; a black 
fascia just under reniform, consisting of black scales and interrupted at 
vein 2, 15, and at medial fold, so as to form four groups ; a sub-terminal 
series of black spots from 15 to 9 ; spots between 7 and 8 placed nearer 
to termen and the next spot more inwards, to form an angle ; from there 
all spots form an evenly curved line inwards, except the spot between 
2 and 15, which is directed towards tornus and broken into two by the 
medial fold ; no markings on under side. The $ co-type is a rather 
bleached specimen and has only the spots between 5 and 6 and between 
medial fold and 2 present ; the fascia is also much less developed. 
Hind wing on upper and under sides without any markings. 
Exp. Type, 32 -2 mill. ; co-type, 29 T mill. 
Hab. Type from Pretoria (3.12.13, Janse); in coll., Janse. 
Co-type from Pretoria (Munro) ; in coll., Tvl. Mus. 
This species comes close to straminicolor, but can easily be dis- 
tinguished from it by fore and hind wings being of the same colour, by 
the stronger developed fascia, the sub-terminal series of black spots, and 
the reniform being surrounded by black scales.
